THE WORLD’S LARGEST EMERALD

This is a 57,000-carat emerald, which is said to be the world’s largest.

The giant jewel weighs 11.5 kilograms and is around 12 inches long and was recently appraised at $1.15 million since it is only a rough cut stone.

The emerald was discovered in Brazil and cut in India. Rare gem dealer Regan Reany of Calgary got an email about the stone and thought it was too good to be true. But the emerald is, in fact, very real.

“The gemstone is named ‘Teodora’ and rough translation is ‘God’s Gift’”
